Download or read book Waveform Design and Diversity for Advanced Radar Systems written by Antonio De Maio and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, various algorithms for radar signal design, that rely heavily upon complicated processing and/or antenna architectures, have been suggested. Increasingly complex operating scenarios calls for sophisticated algorithms with the ability to adapt and diversify dynamically the waveform to the operating environment in order to achieve a performance gain over classic radar waveforms. This is essentially the subject of waveform diversity. This new flexibility demands new ways of characterizing waveform properties and optimizing waveform design. This ability is very critical in increasing our objective performance as the ability will match the transmission waveform to the transmission environment and the sensing objective. This book discusses concepts inherent to the application of waveform design and diversity for advanced radar detection, tracking, and classification. --
